A6100 Lag spikes when playing online games
So I just bought the A6100 Wifi Adapter, and the first day I did not get any lag spikes when I played games such as League of Legends and CS:GO. But now I get a massive lag spike every 10-20 seconds when I try to play any online game. My connection works fine with everything else.

The lag spikes might be due to your ISP.
For example if you have Comcast you would want the Extreme 250 Package.
Here is the list for speeds:
Internet Essentials 5.0 Mbit/s 1.5 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $9.95/mo.[20] Only for families with at least one child that qualifies for the free school lunch program.[21] Economy Plus 3.0 Mbit/s 768 kbit/s 3.0[19] $39.95/mo.[22] Performance Starter 6 Mbit/s 1 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $49.95/mo.[20] Performance 20-25 Mbit/s 4-5 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $66.95/mo.[22] Blast! 50 Mbit/s 10 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $76.95/mo.[22] In some areas, "Blast!" customers have been upgraded to Extreme 105 speeds.[23] Blast! 75 Mbit/s 10 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $76.95/mo.[22] In most service areas Blast! (50 Mbit/s) customers have been upgraded to Blast! (75 Mbit/s) Speeds. Extreme 105 105 Mbit/s 20 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $114.95/mo.[22] In some areas, Extreme 105 customers have been upgraded to Extreme 150 speeds.[23] Extreme 150 150 Mbit/s 20 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $114.95/mo.[22] Not available in all areas. Extreme 250 250 Mbit/s 20 Mbit/s 3.0[19] $149.95/mo.[22] Not available in all areas. Extreme 505 505 Mbit/s 105 Mbit/s Metro ethernet[24] $399.95/mo.[25] Not available in all areas. Also, if there is one machine doing somthing else high-preformance (e.g. downloading Windows Updates on a PC running Windows XP RTM that will reduce the speeds)
If you can, try doing a wired connection via ethernet, or if you are playing older games, try parallele port connection.
Also, your PC might be to blame.
Hope that helped! :smileyhappy:
Well I have 50Mbit/s download and 10Mbit/s upload as you can see in the picture.
Also my computer's specs are way above what is needed for the games I play so it shouldn't be the PC.
I cannot do a wired connection at this time since my router is in the room under my room
Well, try to run these games on a diffrent PC, possibly one that you know lags, then use the adapter, if the lag comes from the PC, then see if there is more lag spikes.
